The princess is above: the power minister's palm favor

Chapter 82 Someone Behind
Lin'an Palace.

At this moment, the atmosphere was silent as if haunted.

Li Yuxiao returned to Lin'an Prince's Mansion with a gloomy face, thinking about it, but he couldn't think of a way to release Li Chuchu from the palace.

At this moment, Xiao Haizi suddenly reminded: "My lord, since the eldest princess is unwilling, then we can't send a message to the Royal Garden. I believe that she will find a way."

"Anyway, isn't it approaching the end of the year? It seems that there is nothing wrong with coming back early."

After his reminder, Li Yuxiao's eyes lit up immediately.

"Yes, why didn't the king think of that?"

"Hurry up, send someone to ride out of the city overnight to deliver a letter to Concubine Zhang."

Xiao Haizi took the order, bowed and retreated.

The Lin'an Palace sent people out of the city, and Li Huang received the news.

Everything is as she expected.

"Your Highness, will Concubine Zhang really come back from Bieyuan in advance for the sake of a concubine?"

Li Huang leisurely flipped through a page of the book, without even raising her eyelids, said firmly: "Of course, let's just watch, she will be able to return to the capital within three days."

Concubine Zhang was the only concubine left by the late emperor. When she entered the palace at the same time as the late empress dowager, the late emperor immediately took a fancy to the late empress dowager and was made emperor, but she only got the title of concubine.

Regarding this, Concubine Zhang has always been brooding.

She felt that the first queen mother used tricks. When the first queen mother was still alive, she used tricks in the harem a lot.

Fortunately, she only gave birth to a princess and no son, otherwise, with her means, who would sit on the throne might not be sure!

Back then, if she hadn't been behind the scenes to fuel the flames, Concubine Luo would not have had the chance to conceive Li Chuchu, let alone stay in the palace logically, and hold the phoenix seal for so many years.

She is not a queen, but the power in her hands is no less than that of a queen.

If her hands were not too long, the emperor would not have been able to send her to the royal garden outside the city to be raised. She was only allowed to return to the palace for a period of time during the Spring Festival every year.

In previous years, she had to return to the palace for at least half a month, but if Li Yuxiao sent someone to pick her up and return to the palace earlier, she would definitely not refuse.

In this way, Li Chuchu will not be locked up in the palace for a long time.

Sure enough, Concubine Zhang returned to the palace the next day.

Listening to the servant's report, Li Huang put down the book in his hand, with a mocking smile on his lips.

"I really can't wait for a moment. I can't wait to go back to the palace when I get the news."

It was just returning to the palace half a month early, so the emperor couldn't say anything.

However, the troublesome Li Yuxiao was fined by the emperor for half a year's salary.

Empress Dowager Zhang has always been a high-profile person, since she returned to the palace, she naturally wanted to host a banquet to invite some noble concubines to get together.

As the eldest princess of the royal family, Li Huang naturally had to go.

The next day, Li Huang received the post.

However, what she didn't expect was that Miss Gu Ningshuang, who was rumored to have been sent to Zhuangzi, was also invited.

The two ran into each other at the gate of the palace, and Gu Ningshuang stepped forward to greet her provocatively.

"See Eldest Princess, I didn't expect that the courtier came back so soon and was invited to the banquet."

Originally thought that she would never have a chance to enter the palace again in this life, but unexpectedly, when Concubine Zhang came back, she could save them all.

Gu Ningshuang's pride was written all over her face.

Li Huang wasn't too surprised, after all, Li Chuchu's sister-in-law, she could make Concubine Zhang remove her confinement, and naturally she could bring Gu Ningshuang back to the capital.

However, even if she came back, with her Gu Ningshuang's mind, she would just continue to cause trouble for the Gu family, and she would not be able to play any new tricks.

She deliberately glanced behind Gu Ningshuang, and asked, "Aren't Miss Gu and Miss Ye very close? Why don't you make an appointment when you enter the palace?"

Although Ye Jiuning is a concubine, because of Ye Yunge's protection these years, she has a good relationship with these noble women in Beijing, and her status in the mansion has also improved significantly. The general's wife is willing to take her to the banquet in the palace.

Isn't it strange that I didn't see anyone today?

"This court lady doesn't know either. The court lady is going to pay her respects to Concubine Zhang, so I won't talk to the eldest princess."

After speaking, she shook her handkerchief and left in a hurry.

It was as if there was a ghost chasing after him.

Li Huang sneered: "I'm afraid it's from the Ye family, so they didn't let her in at all."

The last time Gu Ningshuang made a fool of herself in Ruyi Building, she became a celebrity in the whole capital. Although Ye Jiuning, who accompanied Gu Ningshuang to go out, didn't take much part in it, she had to be punished by General Zhen Guo after returning home.

For a brainless person like Gu Ningshuang, it's strange that Ye Jiuning would go on the same journey with her again.

"Your Highness, since Concubine Zhang dotes on the Second Princess so much, at today's banquet, she has to make things difficult for you. How about we show our face and then withdraw?"

Ling Yuan has long been displeased with the faces of those people.

In the past, Li Huang was close to Concubine Luo and always said they were good, but she was a servant, so it was difficult to say anything.

But now that her highness and the mother and daughter have torn apart, she doesn't want her highness to look at other people's faces again.

Li Huang shook her head: "Concubine Zhang must have a sufficient reason to relieve Li Chuchu's grounding. I also want to see what excuse the old woman can find."

"As for the phoenix seal, she, the Luo family, don't even think about it."

Even if there is no empress in the palace for a long time, each department in the palace has its own people to manage, without her Concubine Luo, is it possible that the transfer will not be possible?

The master and servant chatted, and soon arrived at the Ci'an Palace of Concubine Zhang.

Ling Yuan looked around, but she didn't see anyone, let alone guests, not even a servant serving her.

"Your Highness, there is no one in Ci'an Palace. Could it be that we misread the date?"

She couldn't help but take out the post and read it again, and found that it was correct.

So, I had to go outside and arrest someone to ask, and only after I asked, did I know that the banquet was at the Compassionate Ning Palace.

"Your Highness, Concubine Zhang hosted a banquet, why not in her Ci'an Palace?"

Li Huang immediately understood what Concubine Zhang meant, Dang even raised the corners of her lips, and said sarcastically: "Some people really haven't recognized their position for decades."

The Compassionate Ning Palace is the place where the empress dowager of the main palace lives, what is the meaning of her Concubine Zhang running to the Compassionate Ning Palace to hold a banquet as soon as she comes back?

The master and servant turned their heads and went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, where there were indeed a lot of flowers and beams of joy.

Before entering the door, laughter came out: "Concubine Zhang is still so contemptuous, it seems that it is not impossible to take care of this harem for Your Majesty."

"That's right, how can this harem have no owner? In the future, I'm afraid I will have to work hard for the concubine."
